Jny, not being either TP or V, I can't hope to achieve much coherence on the subject, but in my mind the difference is clear. Tolerance is letting everybody worship in the way they desire - in their houses of worship, their homes, or not at all. What goes on on public property, paid for by public mo...

Thanks vison. :) Another thing I used to think beautiful was a steel plant. We used to go on field trips to a steel plant where I lived, and I remember iron, blidning like that last ray of sunset, pouring out of the huge dipper, sparks flying like fireworks. And the white-hot cylinders gliding along...

Oh, yes, sheets dried on the line are beautiful. I remember when I was little sheets were hanging outside in winter, frozen rigid and ringing like iron. I love drying my son's things outside, over my lemon bush and mint and near jasmine. Now that I'm temporarily without a washing machine, I had to r...

I've lurked in Tolkien Virgin thread, and Impish is right, it was delightful to see the impressions of the newcomer. Especially when the first-time reader speculated about the future events, and even more so when they did that based on Da Movies . When it comes to Austen, I'm a dilettante and I'm re...

Regarding Galadriel's address to Gimli - here the language is but a tool of her wisdom and goodwill. There is Gimli, all ruffled feathers, blindfolded, insulted and none too fond of Elves to begin with. Celeborn proceeds to accuse the Dwarves, Gimli's kin, of stirring up the evil in Moria and effect...

Faramond , I loved poetry since childhood and could recite dozens of poems from memory. But the deepest emotion and experience captured in the verses were only a story that was told to me. As I grew older, fell in love, lost a friend, had a child, I began to recognize the echoes of my own heart in ...

Hunter, you can post a link to a picture file inside the tags, but the image must live on the Internet, not on your PC. Do you have a photobucket account? If not, it's free at www.photobucket.com, and you can use it to store pictures from your PC so that you can link to them from the boards. Photobu...

Inded. :( How about this one, by Tsvetayeva? Used to be my #1 favorite. When the dawn is frosty By the seventh birch tree On the corner, by the church Wait, my Don Juan But alas, I swear by my betrothed and my life that here in my land there is no place to kiss We have no fountains and dry are the w...

Jn, it's not that original. :D You can read Russian? :shock: Tzvetayeva and Akhmatova - I'd adore them both and would hate to choose just one. But it's impossible to find a good English translation of Russian poetry. I really hated what was done to Pasternak in Doctor Zhivago translation, and ironic...

You have but to ask.Faramond wrote:Does anyone have any nature poetry to share? I would especially love to see more written in a language other than English.
